Calls in hot car...

Can it hurt anything leaving calls in your glovebox while your in work for example...

I wouldn't recommend it....exposure to extreme heat for long periods may cause reed issues and not to mention expansion of acrylic or polycarb material issues.

horse malarky.. Ive been keeping calls in heated cars for years and I have yet to have any problems. Just keep em out of the direct sunlight and you should be ok.. If you're really nervous, put em in a cooler with some ice.. :lol:

i was talking to a call maker at a show this year, and he was telling me about one of his customers that left his call in his vehicle all the time. the customer was complaining about the call not blowing like it used to, couldnt get it to blow right. the call looked fine, so the call maker mic'd the call and it warped enough to throw the tolerances off. he said he had to replace the call.

i did some research and found online the propertys of acrylic. http://www.3d-cam.com/materials/acrylic.asp says that the softening point of acrylic starts at 117 degrees...........Personaly i wouldnt do it

ive had the metal ring move on my call from havin it sit in a hot car. just threw it in the freezer for a few minutes to let the acrylic shrink and slid it right back in place
